Five Kingdoms
Scientists realized there were enough differences
among organisms to make 5 kingdoms:
• Monera
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia

Recently, biologists recognized that Monera were
composed of two distinct groups: Eubacteria and
Archaebacteria.

The Three-Domain System
The Three-Domain System
Molecular analyses have given rise to a new
taxonomic category that is now recognized by
many scientists.
The domain is a more inclusive category than any
other — larger than a kingdom.

The Three-Domain System
The three domains are:
• Eukarya, which is composed of protists,
fungi, plants, and animals.
• Bacteria, which corresponds to the kingdom
Eubacteria.
• Archaea, which corresponds to the kingdom
Archaebacteria.

Domain Bacteria
Domain Bacteria
Members of the domain Bacteria are unicellular
prokaryotes.
Their cells have thick, rigid cell walls that surround
a cell membrane.
Their cell walls contain peptidoglycan.

Domain Archaea
Domain Archaea
Members of the domain Archaea are unicellular
prokaryotes.
Many live in extreme environments.
Their cell walls lack peptidoglycan, and their cell
membranes contain unusual lipids not found in any
other organism.

Domain Eukarya
Domain Eukarya
The domain Eukarya consists of organisms that
have a nucleus.
This domain is organized into four kingdoms:
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Animalia

Domain Eukarya
Protista
The kingdom Protista is composed of eukaryotic
organisms that cannot be classified as animals,
plants, or fungi.
Its members display the greatest variety.
They can be unicellular or multicellular;
photosynthetic or heterotrophic; and can share
characteristics with plants, fungi, or animals.

Domain Eukarya
Fungi
Members of the kingdom Fungi are heterotrophs.
Most fungi feed on dead or decaying organic
matter by secreting digestive enzymes into it and
absorbing small food molecules into their bodies.
They can be either multicellular (mushrooms) or
unicellular (yeasts).

Plantae
Members of the kingdom Plantae are multicellular,
photosynthetic autotrophs.
Plants are nonmotile—they cannot move from
place to place.
Plants have cell walls that contain cellulose.

Animalia
Members of the kingdom Animalia are
multicellular and heterotrophic.
The cells of animals do not have cell walls.
There is great diversity within the animal kingdom,
and many species exist in nearly every part of the
planet.
